Kibitzer's Corner
May-20-04  csmath: 34th move of black was the begining of the end for Ivanchuk. 34. ... Nf6 would have been more resilient. Too bad because Ivanchuk played the opening very convincingly and Kasparov had absolutely nothing in it. I dislike the whole idea with pushing the e-pawn that created weakness. Somehow I think that the players like Ivanchuk should not be playing QID, this is more of an opening for Leko, Karpov, and Kramnik. Solid but patience is needed.

  Honza Cervenka: It could have followed 41...Re6 42.Nf4 Re7 43.Ned5 Ree8 44.Nxb6 etc.
May-28-08  inthestepsofTal: I like 27.Bxe5! taking over the initiative. Not an intuitive move.
Jul-02-13  wordfunph: <After resigning, Ivanchuk broke out in tears, mumbling, "My tournament is over.">

  offramp: In those days, giants roamed the earth.
Jul-02-13  RookFile: I've talking about this. Kasparov was in a little difficulties. His solution was to trade the queen's bishop off for something.
Nov-18-17  LA MAN: Why not p-f4 on 26 by white followed by r-d4 then the knight is lost. Black can't protect it with bishop on d6. Also if black tries n-f6 check nxn. Is OK
Nov-18-17  LA MAN: Oops I missed rxn!
